3. Tap General.
4. Set the Scanner Operating Mode: Momentary, Continuous, or Compatible. The default is
compatible.
Momentary The scanner is on when the trigger is pressed and goes off when the
trigger is released.
Continuous The scanner is always on. A good scan causes the scanner to reset
and continue scanning.
Compatible The scanner operates in Monarch® 6037  compatible mode, which
means the scanner is on when the trigger is pressed and goes off
after a successful scan or a predetermined timeout period.
Note: An unsuccessful scans turns off the scanner and activates the tone (.wav file) set using
the Scanner Configuration menu. A “no scan” is interpreted as an unsuccessful scan.
5. Set the Data Receive Mode: WMCHAR or SMSCANCHAR. The default is WMCHAR.
WM_CHAR The application receives data by the keyboard buffer.
SM_SCANCHAR The application receives data by the scanner through a special
message.
6. Set the Operation of the Trigger Mode: Scan, Drop, or Forward. The default is Forward.
Scan Pressing the trigger turns on the scanner.
Drop The printer ignores the trigger press and does not turn on the
scanner.
Forward The printer passes the trigger press to the application as an F11,
which allows for more control of the application. You can code a
custom application to perform a special function whenever it receives
an F11.
7. Enable Send Scan Status to return the data after any scan. This data precedes the bar
code and includes the length of data and bar code type. See Appendix A, “Scan Status
Values,” for more information.
8. Set the No Scan Timeout in tenths of seconds, which is the amount of time the scanner
beam is on before turning off when the trigger is pressed. The range is 5 – 99. The default
is 30.
